Why BJP can dobetter inMaharashtraelections than others.
IndiaToday.in
New Delhi, October 11, 2014 | UPDATED 22:31 IST
BJP surely seems to have taken a lead in campaign in Maharashtra. The
India Today-Cicero opinion poll predicted that BJP is likely to get
around 130 seats in Maharashtra where as Shiv Sena will be number two
with around 60 seats.Numbers may change but most of the opinion
polls have shown that BJP has taken a clear lead and the new government
in Maharashtra will most likely see BJPs chief minister.
But how BJP managed to reach to this situation which was unthinkable in Maharashtra politics?
Let's
first understand history of BJP in Maharashtra. Maharashtra has always
been known as Congress state. Even in 1978 when many western and
northern states gave clear verdict to Congress, it was Maharashtra which
stood behind congress.
But within a few months, Sharad Pawar
broke away from congress and formed his own party and with the help of
the then Janata party he became chief minister.
Even though Jana
Sangh pre 1980 version of BJP was part of Janata Party, their core
support was not more than 20 to 25 seats in the scenario. BJP (jan
sangh) in Maharashtra was always around 20 seats but they always managed
to maintain that number in most of the political wave.
The main
reason for their limited support was because BJP was known as Brahmin
party. Brahmin as a casteis not more than 3.5 percent in Maratha
dominated Maharashtra. It was Pramod Mahajan who understood that they
will have to support their hindutva ideology with strong base of OBC and
Maratha support. He was the one who brought in his brother in law Gopinath Munde in to politics and made him face of BJP.
Munde,
vanjari by caste, became OBC face of BJP and with the charisma of Shiv
Sena chief Bal Thackeray, BJP spread its wings in 1990 in other parts of
the Maharashtra. BJPs tally reached to 42 from 16 and in later
elections BJP always managed to keep more than 40 seats across
Maharashtra.
Cleverly in seat distribution, BJP got more seats in
Vidrabha, Marathwada and northern Maharashtra region, where as many
seats in western Maharashtra were given to Shiv Sena where Shiv Sena
could never manage to make its impression and always lost.
Western
Maharashtra, predominantly sugar belt of the state, has always been a
stronghold of congress and later NCP due to spread of cooperative sugar
factories. Management of these factories have always been congress (post
1999 NCP) but this alliance had some draw backs too, BJP could never
contest on 160 odd seats specially in Mumbai, Konkan and Thane region
where Shiv Sena has always been formidable due to its cadre base.
Despite
success of Ram Janmabhoomi agitation, BJP could do nothing because it
was Shiv Sena which took away its hindutva card in urban centers of
Maharashtra (Maharashtra has nearly 42 percent urban population).
After rise of Narendra Modi,
BJP realized that this is the time when they can spread in the regions
where due to alliance with Shiv Sena they could never reach, their
workers were almost non functional in most of these 160 seats. Even when
Gopinath Munde was alive, BJP had started projecting another local
leader in the party cadre. BJP took up congress strategy. Maharashtra is
a state where every region has its own identity and own leaders.
Congress
always projected this region within the state leadership. Like Vilas
Rao Deshmukh, even if he became chief minister twice in Maharashtra, he
was known as leader from Marathwada. BJP took up similar strategy. They
developed Devendra Fadanvis in Vidarbha , Eknath Khadse in north
Maharashtra , Pankaja Munde (after Gopinath Munde's death ) in
Marathwada, Vinod Tawade in Mumbai, Konkan.
Raher than running the
party from Mumbai like Shiv Sena where for every decision local leaders
have to travel more than 100 kms to Matoshree (Uddhav Thackeray's
residence) or Shiv Sena Bhavan at Dadar in central Mumbai.
In
western Maharashtra, BJP saw to it that smaller alliance partners like
Shetakari Sanghatan, Rashtriya Samaj party remains with them than with
Shiv Sena. In many places BJP directly imported candidates from Congress
and NCP. So they could make solid pitch for electoral success. On the
top of this basic preparation BJP had decided to rope in Narendra Modi,
it's only star campaigner.
No other party had thought that Modi
will take this risk and will be ready to address 24 rallies in
Maharashtra. He virtually was taking 3 rallies per day in every region
of Maharashtra same as that of he took during his Lok Sabha campaign.
But
Narendra Modi's arrival in Maharashtra campaign made this five corner
contest bipolar, it has become Modi vs others. Uddhav Thackeray was
trying hard to get sympathy vote by playing Maharashtra vs BJP and Modi
card, but after Modi's entry everyone picked up the similar line.
Raj
Thackeray launched his attack on Modi by saying if Modi keeps
campaigning in Maharashtra when will he get time to work as prime
minister, Congress attacked Modi on his Gujarat identity, even NCP
leaders followed the line. Now BJP is trying to take maximum advantage
of this bipolar contest. And if BJP manages to reach to the magic figure
of 145 (needed for majority in 288 seats assembly) it will be bad news
for regional parties like Shiv Sena, MNS and NCP.
New Delhi: BJP and its current allies are likely to
win 120 seats which wouldn’t
be enough to form the government in
Maharashtra, reveals ABP News-Nielsen Opinion Poll.
BJP’s former ally Shiv Sena is projected to win 67 seats.
BJP is falling short of 25 seats and in this scenario would require to join hands again with Shiv Sena.
Congress is predicted to win 46 seats while its former partner NCP gets 36 seats, the latest survey has revealed.
MNS is likely to garner 8 seats while smaller parties and independents are projected to bag 11 seats. 37% of the respondents feel that BJP is most likely to win in the upcoming assembly elections
Despite
Gopinath Munde, the BJP has living in high hopes & they seem to
solely depend on the Modi wave for a landslide victory. The party is
still struggling to choose a chief ministerial candidate.
The issues plaguing the voters' minds are the same as they were during the Lok Sabha polls earlier this year.
Ability to bring down inflation and corruption have been cited as the major reasons for shift to BJP.
As
expected Shiv Sena supporters who had voted for BJP in the Lok Sabha
elections because of the alliance are now moving to Shiv Sena as these
parties are contesting separately. Those who are moving from BJP to
Congress said that they voted for BJP in Lok Sabha elections because of
Narendra Modi.
With the break-up of alliances in
Maharashtra, Uddhav Thackeray (22%) has emerged as the most preferred
candidate for the position of Chief Minister of Maharashtra, followed by
Devendra Fadanvis (19%) and Prithviraj Chavan (14%)
